A group of employees were forced by their employer in extreme punishments for failing to meet their sales targets.
These personnel endured humiliation after failing to meet their sales targets
Pictures circulating on Chinese social media have shown workers in the city of Zhengzhou China crawling on all fours for failing to meet a sales quota.
Chinese firms are known to push employees hard in an effort to drive forward business, although human rights groups have expressed concern about the methods employed.
It was gathered that the length of time spent on the punishment varied, with the fastest individual finishing the nearly two mile journey in a little over an hour, while the slowest crawler took nearly three hours before he finished.
Other workers were also bleeding from their palms, having torn calluses off on the nails holding down the boardwalk.
Despite many tears and much pain, according to the supervisor, all the employees were expected to be back at work the next day to begin meeting the new, increased sales quota.
